    I think the question on everyone's lips is: what affect will this have on the predictions league?

    Alternative fixture at AFC Blackpool v Carlisle city, about a mile away I think. KO 3pm.

    When non league trumps professional football!
    The lack of tall stands often mean than non league pitches can dry better from the rain than league ones, where the pitch doesn't get the drying breeze
  • Why doesn't everyone up there rally round and finally find Adrian's famous long lost hairdresser love interest.

    At least we weren't 3-1 up, like Doncaster were at the Valley. They lost the rematch and got relegated. That's really shit.

    A long trip for the fans for nothing. Not the best way to spend a Saturday.

    We seem to be kicking off late but I predict 0-0 :wink:
  • Silver lining is that we have time to get players back from injury and our new boys up to speed. It’s points in the bank ;0)

    Ties in with what I heard about Karl wanting it off, sounds like it came from the oystons.

    Makes so much sense to delay kick off to 4pm rather than calling it straight off.

    Blackpool fans to a man saying they’ve played on a lot lot worse, sounds like a jobs worth ref has cost us this game

    Political probably. Not sure why but sounds a bit dodgy.

    Speaking to the Blackpool fans in the pub, everyone is saying they’ve played matches on the pitch when it’s been in far worse states......

    Ref probably has a table booked somewhere tonight!

    It's a long way back to Blackpool on a wet Wednesday night in March.

    The last thing Robinson would want is to have to re-arrange this match in the middle of a fixture pile-up.
    We've still got the Shrewsbury match to re-arrange, remember.

    I’ve played on a lot worse at Penhill or Danson Park. At least there isn’t any dog shit evident at Bloomfield Road.

    What's the difference between pitches now and in the 60s when they were often a mudbath and played in all conditions? Is it due to new safety issues or what? Just appears to be so many more games called off in past 10 years or so than used to be.

    Probably more to do with insurance for the players I'm afraid.
  • Soul Suite later if anyone is around for a piss up and celebrate not losing :wink:

    Anything in the rumours that the game maybe played tomorrow?

    Sky Sports Betting app seems to think the game is kicking off at 6pm!!

    That would be far too sensible and fan friendly - remember English Football is not run for the benefit of those who actually watch the games.

    Never heard of such a thing, other than for crowd congestion. Which is not to say its not a good idea. Good ideas don't get far in football admin.

    A shame they couldn't have delayed the game by an hour, maybe they could have worked on that one corner

    There's no 'maybe' about it. It's not like the weather came as a surprise to anyone Oyston spunkstains. The BFC powers coulda got the game on if they gave a flying fuck about anything other than their dividends. Referee hasn't helped. If they're playing Bury or somebody else nearby, fine, have an inspection at 1:30. Leaving it til then is reprehensible, pissing about with the decision for another half hour was just cintush. Delaying the kick off an hour and some concerted forking and that little patch woulda been A1. Moderate temperatures, no rain and strong winds, mean the pitch woulda continued to improve all afternoon. Boyeson another jobsworth shutcint with no consideration for anybody but himself and getting his boots a bit muddy, miserable selfish lazy prick. Hand in your whistle you waste of skin and get together with that shiteatingdonkeyrapist D'Urso.
